Greetings to all –

I want to congratulate everyone on such a wonderful first meeting on December 13^th. Those of you in new stations did a great job on your charges, kudos to your hard work.

For those of you who were unable to attend, we missed you and hope this email finds you well.

We were honored by a visit from Sister Sue White, who is Worthy Grand Marshall of the General Grand Chapter and Past Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of California,  and her husband Alan White, who is her escort as well as a Worthy Patron this year.

During our meeting, Brother Alan served as Installing Marshall, while Sister Sue was Installing Matron for our treasurer, brother Rodney Slagle, who had missed our official installation ceremony. It was truly a memorable experience and we were so grateful for their assistance.

As we celebrate the holidays with our friends and family, singing Christmas carols and holiday songs, I want to share with you something I came across the other day. It is about the meaning behind the song

“The Twelve Days of Christmas”.

It goes like this:

The Partridge in a Pear Tree represents Jesus Christ.

Two turtle doves stand for the Old and New Testaments.

Three French hens represent Faith, Hope, and Love.

The four calling birds are the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

The five golden rings represent the first five Old Testament books, also known as the Torah in the Jewish faith.

The six geese a-laying symbolize the six days of creation.

Seven swans a-swimming represent the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Eight maids a-milking are the eight Beatitudes.

Nine ladies dancing are the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Ten Lords a leaping represents the Ten Commandments.

Eleven Pipers Piping stand for the eleven faithful disciples.

Twelve drummers drumming symbolize the twelve points of belief in the Apostles’ Creed.

Wishing you all peace and star love.

Jane Bradfield, Worthy Matron
